His mate was the one who was wrong. Cole was aware of that fact. Just like he was also aware of the fact that Carson and Vince escalated the argument. He knew that it meant something, that they thought it was best if the world thought that they were back to being at each other’s throats and normally, he would have dropped Myra back in their room and go to his study immediately so he could try and contact the two other leaders to ask what was happening but why the make believe argument but he was more concerned about his mate. Which was why he didn’t leave her side even after dropping her on the bed and then proceeded to cuddle her. Something that helped to reduce her tears and made her relax enough to fall asleep in his arms. His mind was still busy, thinking about his mate and categorizing every weird thing which he had seen her do and which she did effortlessly like she was used to doing it. It meant that people in her settlements, thought it was usual. Something which vampires di
Cole didn’t add to his earlier words, he just sat back, resting his back against their bed’s headboard while watching Myra. The best way for him to tell his mate is lying to him was to watch her facial expressions and to see if she would tell the truth. “Cole, what are you trying to say with that statement?” Myra asked calmly too. “I am not trying to say anything but the truth. It is enough to break the mate bond. Mate bond exists because each individual involved believes at least, that the partner that is with them in the bond will not hurt them. It is basic trust form. The whole bond is about trust. So why will I trust a female who continue to lie to me and does it so easily that if it was not because of that incident, I would be inclined to think that maybe I imagined the whole thing?” Cole asked and Myra bent her head as her eyes landed on the covers, she was sitting up and looking at Cole before, she dropped her head. Their cozy cuddling of less than five minutes ago was ruined
Cole got to his office and changed back to his human form and immediately regretted it, he wanted to return to his wolf form because he felt freer from the emotions of his heart then. He was desperately trying not to think about his mate but he was helpless in that feat as his mind kept revolving round her, going back to her over and over again. He really would prefer to give the reins to his wolf but he couldn’t. He had duties of a king which was holding him tied to his skin. That was the very last thing which he wanted to do but he had no choice for now. He would do what he needed to do because he was king. Signing into the computer interface that enabled himself, Carson and Vince to talk without the worry of them being hacked, he settled down and waited for them to log in and when the bubbles started showing on the screen, he knew that they were really expecting his call for them. “It took you long enough.” Carson complained as soon as his face appeared. “And I told you to be p
“…Don’t you think that this little argument which you are having with your mate is getting out of hand?” Brett asked Cole who was still sitting behind his desk, he only left to refresh himself but his food had been brought to him since the night before and he has been trying his best to get caught up with the paperwork, he was finally gaining traction when Brett came to report the status of the new warrior’s pack which was just formed and their training so far. Cole raised his head from the paper in front of him to glare at Brett who sighed and then continue. “The warriors are shaping up well, the suggestion of partnering an alpha and a beta together as a team seem to be working well and the success rate is well above fifty percent but none of that matters if both Alphas and Betas are scared of your mate who happened to be on a warpath and is terrorizing the entire settlement because of your little disagreement with her. Last time, it was you but this time, she put your little tantru
“Fuck.” Vince cursed when Cole explained what he had just discovered. His curse was enough to shock both Carson and Cole into strangled laughter as they realized the grimness of the situation and the total number of an army which might be against them that they were not even aware of until that moment. “Our current system is not working, there are a lot of changes which needs to be made.” Vince added, ignoring the laughter of others. “That is certain but how do we go about doing it?” Carson asked, his eyes flickering between Vince and Cole on their various screens. “I know that I am the usual calm and conservative one when it comes to making decisions like this but I think that it would be best if we all wipe out the traitors at once.” Vince suggested, once more leaving Cole and Carson in shock. “I know that it is a radical choice but I think we have been too lenient. We can use them as an example for the rest of those under our control to be reminded just how powerful we are and
“I’m sorry.” Myra let out a strained laugh as she stared at Cole who was still eating as of nothing was going on. When he summoned her to his office, she was happy. She knew the fact that he summoned her meant that he was still angry but at least, he asked for her and she translated that to be he was tired of not seeing her. Her translation was wrong. He instead was telling her something which she still couldn’t comprehend well. Who the hell leaves their mate behind these days? “You sounded like you were leaving me.” Myra continued and Cole nodded. “Then you got what I wanted to tell you right.” Cole replied, his gaze cool as he leaned back on his seat to watch his mate, drinking his fill of her. “You cannot do that.” Myra pitch was high and Cole raised his eyebrow at her words, while staring at her. Reminding her silently that she was talking to a king and she should remember that fact. “I am your mate!” “And I am still king so you shouldn’t raise your voice, wouldn’t want to g
On getting to their room, Cole saw Myra sitting by the window but she locked it and left the curtain in place, making it give the illusion that nobody was there. Although Cole felt her in the room while he was outside, he didn’t know that she was just behind the curtain. “I don’t understand you Cole. I certainly wish I did.” Myra started softly and Cole sighed. Of course she would hear the conversation he had with Brett. Still he asked. “You heard?” “I did and I still don’t understand how you would just agree to Brett once about the same thing which I have been telling you about for days now. Things which you were too stubborn to even listen well to what I was trying to say!” Myra stated.Cole winced. “Maybe I needed someone else opinion?” “Maybe, or maybe I am not the one who doesn’t value this mate bond between us.” Myra stated and Cole sucked in a deep breathe. “Myra…” Myra shook her head sadly. “My race, the people who I always thought I woul;d spend my life with banished me
Myra didn’t know what to expect when she told Dee and Dumb that they should lead her to Taylor but seeing him in Cole’s throne room and perched on her throne was enough to make green reflect on her eyes for just a little bit. “Your Highness.” Taylor replied, jumping up from his seat but even that was not enough to make Myra calm. Without a word, she moved passed those who are gathered to take her seat and most of them had the decency to bow their heads since they knew that Taylor was not doing well and still they said and did nothing in protest. She ignored Taylor until she sat at her chair. “By all means, don’t let me stop you from whatever it is that you were doing. Please in fact do continue.” Myra stated and Taylor swallowed noisily. “Nothing was being discussed, nothing of importance.” He shivered and Myra frowned. He was being respectful. More than usual. And that was when she realized that her dominance was still being displayed. She hid it once more as she looked at Taylo
